Commission begins changes to cemetery rules, proposes $500 one‑time plot purchase fee
Summary
At the Jan. 26 work session commissioners agreed to revise cemetery purchase rules to allow certain additional purchases, set a one-time $500 purchase fee, and noted no-glass safety rules; a surveyor is finalizing plots and staff expects sales to be possible about 60 days after survey completion.
Commissioners discussed revisions to cemetery rules during the Jan. 26 work session and asked staff to prepare changes for an upcoming agenda. The proposed rules would allow citizens to purchase more than one plot in limited circumstances — for example, to purchase an adjacent plot for a spouse or for a resident who moved to assisted living late in life — and would add a one‑time $500 fee for plot purchase. Commissioners also emphasized safety measures such as prohibiting glass on plots.
County Manager Thomas Weaver said the surveyor would complete work quickly and that the county expects to be able to sell plots about 60 days after survey completion. The proposed changes were added to the Feb. 3 meeting agenda as voting items so the commission can adopt them formally.
